Dinner Rolls for a Crowd These are super easy to bake up and so much better than store-bought. One recipe makes 3 dozen, so there are plenty. However, these are not giant sandwich rolls, but are the perfect size for dinner or a salad course. If you are having 12 people or less this will feed everyone, they are little bites of heaven. There are so many dinner roll recipes out there, however, these can easily sop up the leftover gravy or salad dressing on a plate without interfering with flavor. They are soft and airy, just overall yummy. Using a standing mixer, combine 1 cup flour, the sugar, yeast and salt. Mix in the warm water in a slow, steady stream for about 1 minute. Using the mixer fitted with a dough hook, mix in 2 cups flour, 1/4 cup at a time, on low speed, scraping down the bowl once, until the dough forms a ball, about 2 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, divide the dough into thirds, then cut each third into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. You can’t eat just one.

Tetradia aubreylstallard:Samplerman(Source: samplerman) for-the-duke-of-paris:monsieurlabette: The picture of phalluses painted on the walls of a house is quite a common sight in Bhutan. The phalluses are that of Drukpa Kunley, the Divine Madman, and recall his legendary sexual exploits, thereby serving as a symbol of fertility. The phallus is not considered objectionable in Bhutan. Indeed, the phallus may date to Bhutan’s ancient Bon religion, adopted from Tibet long before Buddhism. the-duke-of-paris-archive(Source: yourdaddyd, via lostandfound) (Source: faith-in-humanity, via pantycrust) pieffysessanta:Tim Walker for Aquascutum(via pieffysessanta) magictransistor:Joseph Martin Kronheim, There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, c. 1875.(via aleatoryalarmalligator) muirgilsdream:Radish Virgin.

His barons offered no advice other than that they had enough men. “I thank you for your courage,” said Arthur, “but will you all who say you love me, speak with Merlin? The barons agreed to hear Merlin, who was sent for. “I say to you,” said Merlin, “I warn you all that your enemies are strong and they are as good soldiers as live. “What shall we do?” “I shall give you my advice,” said Merlin. The king and the barons agreed to Merlin's plan. “Therefore,” said the spokesman of the eight knights, “you shall die or be our prisoners, for we are knights of King Claudas.” When the two messenger knights arrived at Benwick they were pleased to find both Kings Ban and Bors there. “Ha!” “When do you suppose we can expect the two kings?” “Sir,” they said, “before All Hallowmass.” “Who is he?”

killerbeesting* GREAT SHOWDOWNS by scott c. Bangable Dudes in History Fuck Yeah, Sherlock. Hey guys! I unfortunately need a little bit of help.Recently, I came out to my parents as trans*, telling them that I intended to start on T as soon as possible since I’ve been living out for more than a year now and the insurance my parents had me under would cover HRT. Unfortunately, when I told them, they didn’t react well at all and told me that if I wanted to go proceed with my transition, I would need to “feel the consequences myself.” So, long story short, they took me off of their health insurance.This is where you come in - I hate to have to ask, but I need to raise a decent amount of money by early December so that I can pay for school-sponsored health insurance for the upcoming year. With health insurance through GWU, my hormones will be covered, thankfully, but it’s an expensive bit of downpayment for a full-time student with little to no outside income to make.I will be offering rewards in the form of art commissions and buttons - check out the campaign for further info!

EPA: Subsea oil dispersants in Gulf were a test? Subsea dispersants the right call, EPA administrator believes Published: Sunday, June 27, 2010, 8:00 AM Jonathan Tilove Six weeks after she OK'd the unprecedented subsea application of dispersants into the oil gushing from a hole in the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico. EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson thinks she made the right call. "So far the data show we haven't done any damage and actually we've helped with dispersion and used a lot less of the chemical in the process," Jackson said in her office last week. "But that was probably one of the toughest decisions I've ever made because I don't usually say, introduce any substance, even one that's less toxic, to try to fight a problem, and yet, we had to make it." As of this week, BP has applied nearly 1.5 million gallons of dispersant into the largest oil spill in U.S. history -- almost one million gallons on the surface, and another half-million in the subsea, the first time it has ever been used there. 'This was a test' 'Big tradeoffs'
